I'm in the middle of building a PC with these specs: an Intel Core i5-14600K, an ASUS B760M-MAX Gaming WiFi mATX motherboard, PNY XLR8 Gaming 32GB DDR5 RAM, a Kingston NV3 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, either a Gigabyte or MSI RTX 5070, a Cooler Master MWE Gold V3 750W PSU, and a Phanteks NV5S case with pre-installed ASRGB fans. Everything was fine until I installed a Peerless Assassin cooler and tried to connect the RGB through the daisy chain I had set up. Now, I can't get any RGB output at all! I tried swapping connections, but I only get RGB for a split second when powering on, then it goes dark. I can't pinpoint what's disconnected or misconfigured. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, even a video call would help!

I've had similar issues when messing with RGB setups. It could also be something as simple as a loose connection. Try reseating the RGB cables, and ensure they're snug in both the header and the fan. If you have any spare RGB products around, test them to see if they light up to rule out a hardware malfunction.
It sounds like there might be an issue with how the RGB cables are connected. Make sure the RGB cable from your fan is plugged into the correct RGB header on the motherboard. Standard 5V 3-pin connections are key, so double-check that. If you accidentally plug it into the wrong header, it won't light up. Can you confirm if you're plugging it into the right header? Also, sometimes the daisy-chained setup can cause issues if one fan isn't functioning properly.
